Future Vet Congress 2021: Nordic obsession with penicillin for treating mastitis
Thomas Manske, technical services manager for Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health in the Nordic region, shared his experience of mastitis control and the use of narrow-spectrum treatment in a talk at the company’s Future Vet CPD event.
Dr Manske outlines the profile of mastitis in Swedish dairy herds, and discusses how the disease and treatment strategies have evolved, with approximately 90% of mastitis cases treated with penicillin alone.
He describes some of the strategies used to charactcerise the mastitis profile on farms, and highlights the key reasons why penicillin remains the treatment of choice.
